power not crank

I have a 1978 corvette. My starter went out so I replaced it. After I did that I went to start it and nothing happened. I have power but no crank. I tried by passing the neutral safety switch and still nothing. My car is a standard. The only thing I could think it might be is the ignition switch or the neutral wire from the battery to the block. I really don't think it's the battery wire though. Like I said, I have power just when I turn the key nothing happens.
